Central Ohio is nationally known for its beautiful, ecologically diverse rivers and streams. Aesthetically, ecologically and economically our streams offer countless opportunities for improving health and enhancing quality of life.

MORPC has been working to protect our water quality since 1997 with the creation of “Greenways: A Plan for Franklin County." The plan set out to protect water quality in the heart central Ohio, but today, the Center for Energy & Environment strives to achieve high water quality throughout the MORPC 12-county region and beyond through education, planning, models, stategies and information.

Greenways Trails Trails, also known as bike paths, multi-purpose or leisure paths, within greenways provide access to nature and recreational opportunities. Quarterly, MORPC brings together local and statewide representatives at Central Ohio Greenways & Trail Forums to address current and future trail initiatives. To attend contact Amanda at 614-233-4112.
